What Has This Girl Talked Me Into?

So Jaime started texting me tonight about 11pm.  She wants to know if I have made up my mind about doing the 3-Day with her in November.  The deadline to sign up for only $30 instead of the regular $90 fee expires at midnight.  She knows my weakness! I am my Daddy's daughter, and my Mama's daughter.  Neither of them could resist a good bargain, especially Daddy!  So, I was actually considering this, because I know we would have so much fun together, but it's insane to think I could walk 20 miles in one day, right?  And then get up and do it again the next day, and the next!! This is WAY more than the 5K I envisioned us running together! I haven't even been at this exercise thing a week yet and I've already hurt myself. There's no way I can do this!  And I will have to be gone four days, surely James isn't going to agree to this. So thinking I may have found my out, I say to my loving husband,  

"Hey, James, you know that 3-Day walk Jaime was talking about doing in November?"  
"Yeah."  
"What would you think if I said I wanted to do it with her?" 
He smiles and says, "I think that is a wonderful goal for you to have."  

WAIT...WHAT?!?!?  Really?  OK - so now I am committed - or need to be committed, one!

It's a done deal.  We are both signed up.  I have almost 6 months to whip this body into shape and raise $2300 in donations.  Oh how I cringe at the thought of that.  The overwhelming thought of walking 60 miles in 3 Days pales in comparison to my trepidation at having to do fundraising!  But I'm confident I can get 'er done!  I really am looking forward to spending a weekend with Jaime walking our buns off and camping in hot pink tents for two nights with thousands of strangers. It really does sound like a LOT of fun, and it looks like a giant pink party!  Just check out this picture!
